The remaining members of ENHYPEN<\/strong> spoke to fans on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, after BELIFT LAB<\/strong> announced that former member Heeseung<\/strong>\u00a0would be exiting the boy band. The statement came from Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-Ki<\/strong>, who posted a joint message on X just hours after the company\u2019s statement.<\/p>

In their notice, the remaining members said they understood how shocked fans must have felt upon learning that Heeseung was leaving. They also explained that their biggest concern was how ENGENE, the group\u2019s fandom, would react. Additionally, they explained that it hurt them to see fans feeling worried and upset. At the same time, they expressed their respect for Heeseung\u2019s decision.<\/p>

\u201cSeeing ENGENE worry and struggle is the greatest pain for us,\u201d the sextet continued. \u201cThe time we\u2019ve spent together up until now is precious beyond words. That\u2019s why we respect and support HEESEUNG hyung\u2019s choice and new beginning that we\u2019ve shared all this time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>

Earlier that same day, BELIFT LAB released a longer statement saying that Heeseung would be leaving ENHYPEN to focus on solo activities. The company revealed that the decision came after extensive deliberation and asked fans to understand that the choice was made with both Heeseung\u2019s and ENHYPEN\u2019s futures in mind. The former member later shared a message on Weverse, saying he had thought long and hard before moving in the direction the company suggested for his solo career.<\/p>

Even though the official statements tried to present the change as a considered step after long discussions, the news still came as a surprise because Heeseung had been part of the group for six years, and there were no signs he would leave. Typically, when a member of a KPop band exits a band, there is a previous background, such as an indefinite hiatus or a controversy that might add on to the decision to leave a group permanently.<\/p>

After the announcement, many fans expressed sadness, concern, and confusion online. Some wondered whether there was more behind the decision and questioned if Heeseung had been pressured to leave by the company. Others focused mainly on the emotional impact of seeing ENHYPEN continue with a changed lineup of six members.<\/p>
